Political Cartoon or Satire
Definitions:
An editorial cartoon, also known as a political cartoon, is an illustration or comic strip
containing a propaganda message, that usually relates to current events or personalities.
Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive
social criticism, using wit as a weapon.
